Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

175 Kang De’s Gathering Magic Armor Penetration Combat Department

At the sound of the bowstring, the arrow flew through the air and swept through a blazing line of fire in the air, hitting the Eagle Sect Silver Armor that was the target—it was one of the standard armor of the elves.

Flames appeared, and a ball of flames exploded. The blazing heat burned and melted, and the arrow shattered, but this light armor had already been pierced by the hot jet.

Hong San put down his bow and went over to check. He said, “It can pass through four out of ten arrows, and it’s the most solid part. If it hits the head, face, limbs, or other places with insufficient protection, the effect will be better.”

He turned around and said, “According to the expert sent by the City Lord, the Eagle Sect Silver Armor is the standard armor of the elves’ light cavalry. Its defense surpasses the spiritual vines of the archers to weave wooden armor, and it’s not far from the performance of the Mountain Mist Chain Armor of the infantry. After all, the latter has a shield… However, it’s far inferior to the armor of the heavy infantry.”

Kang De nodded and put the arrows in his hand back into the quiver. These arrows were all wrapped in red color. Clearly, they were attached to the power of fire.

He said, “We can use spears to deal with the armor of the heavy infantry. In the end, these things are used to arm an elite army and allow them to instantly erupt with powerful attack power at a critical moment… In other words, they can only be used to ensure the explosive firepower of this army.”

Hong San walked to Kang De’s side and took out an arrow to observe carefully. Then, he asked, “Master, if you have this skill, why don’t you strengthen the soldiers’ main weapons? These arrows and spears are gone after one use. If they’re long spears and swords, they can at least continuously increase their combat strength.”

Kang De shook his head and said, “That’s relatively too troublesome and energy is limited. Let’s do this first.”

He asked Leona to send someone to the city hall and asked the mayor for two sets of elf armor and the representative weapons of the city defense army. He also began to study the enchantment problem.

After all, in a battle of this scale, he could not change the situation of the entire battlefield with his personal bravery. If he wanted to defend this city, he had to increase his strength at the strategic level. Under such circumstances, the cheat of extraction and enchantment could play an important role and increase the combat strength of an army.

These few days, he had accumulated some enchanted items in his hand. They were all picked up, borrowed, and fallen from the sky. Some of the uses of enchanted equipment were unidentifiable, but some were very obvious. Moreover, they could be directly used in battle and give weapons higher performance—sharpness, armor piercing, freezing, and so on.

After weighing the pros and cons, he finally placed his gaze on one of the enchantments—the Flame Roar.

The reason was none other than the fact that the fire elements were the easiest to obtain.

The Flame Roar came from a high-level enchantment of the Crimson Blood Flame Edge. The element diagram was complicated and overlapping, and there were a total of five levels. After Kang De used the CAD tool to draw this diagram, he tried to reverse-engineer the principle and pattern of this enchantment diagram. He really succeeded. After simplification and stripping, he successfully deduced and simplified the new fire enchantment version of the ship from the element diagram of the Flame Roar.

Compared to the Flame Roar, the power of this enchantment was smaller, but correspondingly, the element diagram was much simpler. When enchanting, the failure rate was lower and it was easier. It could also allow a certain weapon to obtain a powerful fire enchantment strengthening. If an entire elite team was equipped with such an enchanted weapon, it could probably increase their combat strength by at least 20 to 30%.

Kang De called this enchantment “Blaze”.

Just as he was ambitiously preparing to change the cannon of an elite city defense unit, he immediately encountered a fatal problem faced by concept products to the stage of large-scale production.

Although the array diagram had already been greatly simplified, the workload was still the same.

After all, Kang De was only a human. It was really useless to encounter such repetitive work that required concentration, and the efficiency was very low…

When he thought of this, he missed his iron son even more. His obedient child’s academic results were very good. He was down-to-earth, capable, could multitask, and his production efficiency was extremely high.

Apart from the production efficiency problem, enchantment also depended on the material of the equipment. If the material was rough, it could not endure an overly powerful enchantment. How to perfectly fuse the strength of the enchantment and the physical nature of the material and complement each other was also a skill that an outstanding alchemist should master.

Of course, Kang De did not understand.

He would only carve it without caring about anything.

This meant that although the weapon would be greatly strengthened, it had a hidden danger in terms of lifespan. Think about it, during the city war, brave human soldiers held blazing weapons and fought bravely, invincible. However, as they slashed, the sword shattered—that was too ridiculous.

Therefore, considering the strength of the weapon and the production efficiency, after weighing the pros and cons, Kang De helplessly used an even wilder and rougher method.

To hell with the array diagram. After extracting the fire elements, he directly injected them.

It was also the barbaric enchantment method that Kang De had used when he first obtained the extraction ability on the Holy Seal Islands… Now, it seemed that the parrot and the others’ mockery at that time could also be mocking this.

This barbaric injection method had an extremely huge drawback. It would completely destroy the internal structure of the enchanted item, and it would even explode and shatter when it collided violently.

The only benefit was that there was no need to trouble himself. After extracting the elements, he could just pour them in.

In the current situation, it displayed a huge advantage.

Firstly, after deciding to use this enchantment method, Kang De changed the target of enchantment from the main weapon like a spear and sword to a long-range projectile like a spear and arrow. In any case, it was a one-time-use item, so there was no need to consider the problem of lifespan and material strength. He could do whatever he wanted.

In fact, this became a pleasant surprise.

For example, a fire arrow injected with elements. After shooting, it struck the enemy’s armor and collided violently. The structure collapsed, the arrow shattered, and the arrowhead bounced away.

However, at the same time, the fire elements that were mainly focused on the arrowhead suddenly exploded. They melted the metal arrowhead and sprayed it into the enemy again. Because it was sent flying, the distance it maintained from the armor was enough to accelerate the liquid metal. Instead, it displayed an effect similar to a metal jet, and the armor-piercing ability instantly doubled.

Just like Hong San’s attempt just now, four of the ten arrows could directly penetrate the sturdiest part.

This was really a pleasant surprise.

Previously, it was not that he had not used this method to enchant the bullet, but he had not displayed such a good effect. On careful thought, it might be a problem with size and structure. In short, there were all kinds of reasons… Moreover, the strength of the bullet was not something the arrow shaft could compare to.

When Kang De thought of this, he took out the arrow and observed it carefully.

Among the ten arrows, four could unleash the jet effect that was enough to penetrate the Eagle Sect’s Silver Armor. There was a 40% success rate, and the others were failures. He felt that this was not a problem of probability.

Although the ten arrows were injected with the same barbaric elements, this did not mean that the ten arrows were identical. The difference in materials, craftsmanship, and weight, as well as the distribution and soaking of the chaotic and disorderly fire elements, might determine if the arrows could ultimately penetrate the armor.

He wrote this thought down in his notebook.

Perhaps after a large number of experiments, measurements, studies, and deductions, he could create a brand new and stable special enchantment—Kang De’s Gathering Magic Armor Penetration Combat Department.

However, he did not have the time to slowly study it now.

He would first carry out a large number of production. It was better to improve it later. In any case, he could use it now.

After Kang De put down the arrow, he picked up the spear at the side and weighed it in his hand, then smiled.

Perhaps he could also create a new enchantment like “Kang De’s Tail Stabilization Armor Penetration Combat Department”.

At this moment, Hong San suddenly said with a serious expression, “Master.”

Kang De returned to his senses and looked up. “Ah?”

The Cathayan hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, “It’s better for you to keep this ability a secret. Or try your best to keep it a secret.”

Hong San pinched the arrow shaft and slowly said, “Otherwise, if anyone with ulterior motives finds out that you only need to light a fire to easily make a large bundle of arrows more fatal…”

Kang De was first stunned, then he laughed, “It’s not easy. Although this method of injection is relatively time-saving and energy-saving, it still consumes mental strength. If I do it too much, my head will hurt.”

“That’s very scary.”

Hong San’s gaze was very shrewd. Moreover, unknowingly, he no longer hid his strength, “In my opinion, you’ve only learned this ability for a short period of time, right? You’ve only roughly grasped it. With your talent and ability, this technique will only become stronger and stronger in the future… It’s better to hide it.”

Kang De spun the spear in his hand. “Yes, that makes sense. I’ll pay attention.”

However, he still did not think much of it.

After all, he was a Chinese Earthling and the other party was only from another world, a Cathayan.

Some concepts and ideas could not be thought of with talent and intelligence. From Hong San’s point of view, such an enchantment technique was first to hide it and do it to perfection.

Kang De’s idea was… to think of a way to mass-produce it and make it as common as cabbages.

What should be hidden was not his enchantment ability.

He picked up the entire quiver and handed it to Hong San, “I still have to study how to strengthen the spear. It’s a confidential matter. Please make a trip and bring this arrow to Nick to show him. He’ll come… Time is tight. We have to be prepared before the elves attack the next time.”

At this point, Kang De asked, “Is there a problem? Why don’t I go?”

Hong San smiled. “It’s fine… I also want to talk to him personally. After all, this mayor’s intentions are not clear. I want to figure out what he’s thinking.”

Kang De said, “I have the same thought, so I want you to go… I’m just afraid that you still have hatred and don’t want to see him or mess things up. It’s not good.”

Hong San shook his head and said, “There are times and times. Things are urgent. Although I hate him for forcefully summoning the Heaven and Earth Association to defend the city and easily squandering our lives, the dead are already dead. The living ones are still facing the advance of the elves. The most important thing now is to defend the city… Let’s talk about the others in the future.”

Kang De looked at him and said indifferently, “You still miss those people from the Heaven and Earth Association and want to protect them.”

Hong San’s gaze changed slightly, then he said with a mischievous smile, “No, I clearly want to protect you.”

Kang De kicked. Hong San took the arrow pot and did not dodge. However, when Kang De’s kick landed, he immediately retracted his strength and only suffered a light blow.

He waved his hand and said, “How disgusting. Get lost.”

Hong San restrained his smile and bowed, “Master, I know you hate those people from the Heaven and Earth Association very much, but when talking to Mayor Nick, you still want to speak up for them—although the mayor said it first. I know that the reason why you’re like this is completely because you consider my feelings… I really don’t know how to thank you.”

Although he said this, he did not kneel and kowtow this time.

Before Kang De could answer, he ran away.

Kang De stood where he was. A moment later, he snorted and began to fiddle with the spear in his hand.

At this moment, it was getting late and the city was already lit.

After night fell, the ground was deep. To ancient Earth, night meant safety. Typically, no war would happen. It was not that everyone was an obedient child who slept on time, but that ancient times were lacking in nutrition. The soldiers were often night-blind and could not see clearly. Why would they fight?

Only the prestigious general led a small number of disciplined and nutritious troops to launch a night raid battle. It became a famous battle example and even determined the success or failure of a war.

However, the situation in the other world was different from Earth.

Firstly, the elves had made a fortune in the forest and ate meat like vegetables. Night blindness did not exist at all. Secondly, their training level and discipline were extremely high. At the very least, they still had magic. It was simply a small matter to get some light. Therefore, Valentine’s situation was even more dangerous at night.

Mayor Nick was personally in charge of the vigilance after night. From the food to the sentry post to the emergency response, he had to ask about everything. He was really extremely busy.

However, when Hong San found him and demonstrated this enchanted arrow to him, Nick immediately handed the military affairs in his hand to his brother and the other generals and rushed to the Vidal Chamber of Commerce.

After seeing Kang De, he asked directly, “How many are there?”

Kang De replied, “Don’t even think about letting the archery troops in the city sprinkle water. However, it’s still possible to equip an elite projection team to instantly erupt with firepower and suppress them in order to reverse the dangerous situation… In addition, the spear throw version is still being tested.”

Nick took a deep breath and held Kang De’s hands. “If you need anything, just ask. I’ll give you a warrant and send a butler to serve you directly. Everything you need can be obtained from the city’s vault! If there’s nothing in the vault, tell me directly!”

Kang De nodded and said, “I’ll write a list. Send someone to contact me. It’s very tiring to make these things. If there are any relevant magic potions or equipment, send them over as soon as possible. I’ll try my best to create enough arrows and spears before the next battle begins. How to distribute and use them is up to you.”

“In addition, I called you over because I have something important to tell you.”

Nick said in a low voice, “Tell me.”

A little worry and anticipation appeared in Kang De’s eyes. He said, “In the next two days, perhaps my companion will come. If he comes, your people have to cooperate with me fully and let it into the city. I can tell you clearly that it’s very important, not only to me but also to you. In fact, it’s up to it to protect this city better.”

Nick looked into Kang De’s eyes. “Alone?”

Kang De said, “That’s right.”

—It was just a little big.

Therefore, the mayor said, “I understand. One person is still fine.”

Kang De smiled.

If he had an iron son, the speed at which he processed enchanted products would become faster. He really missed it.

However, where was it now? Or had it received a radio signal?

Why was it not here yet?

Under the night, the Hummer sped through the wilderness. The pillar of light cast by the headlights chased away the darkness.

A few burly green-skinned creatures hung from the back of the car, and one lay on the roof.

The Autobot’s muffled voice sounded, “Heaven Slash, you’d better be sure that the time wasted on this trip is worth it. I should have met up with Father now.”

Facing the violent wind at night, the green-skinned voice was filled with fighting spirit, “Don’t worry, we never lie! We have to help the Great Tyrant slash people, so we need help! With more helpers, we can slash the elves contentedly! Only then can we help the Great Tyrant be cooler!”

“Just believe me—Little Tyrant!”
